Tungsten Carbide Nickel Powder [-170+325]

WC-Ni Powder for Wear and Corrosion Protection

Tungsten carbide particles in a nickel binder create a dense, well-bonded coating that resists abrasive wear, fretting, and cavitation. The -170+325 mesh size range is specifically prepared to ensure smooth powder flow through thermal spray feeders, reducing spitting and improving deposit efficiency.

This powder is suitable for rebuilding worn shafts, hydraulic rods, pump sleeves, and other components where a combination of hardness and toughness is critical. The nickel matrix also offers superior resistance to acidic and caustic environments compared to cobalt-based alternatives.

Thermal Spray Process Compatibility

While this powder can be applied using various thermal spray methods, its morphology and size distribution are particularly well-suited for High-Velocity Oxy-Fuel (HVOF) spraying, which produces the densest, most wear-resistant coatings. It is also compatible with plasma and flame spray systems, though coating characteristics will vary by process.

We recommend confirming process suitability with your equipment parameters. Our team can provide technical data to help you evaluate compatibility with your specific spray gun and application requirements.

Packaging and Handling

To maintain powder integrity and prevent contamination, this product is available in sealed industrial packaging options. Standard pack sizes include 5 kg tins, 10 kg tins, and 25 kg pails. Each container is clearly labeled with the product grade, mesh size, and lot information for traceability.

Store powder in a cool, dry environment and avoid exposure to moisture before use. Proper handling ensures consistent flow characteristics and coating quality.
